Default glovebox door

Is there a way to adust this? The top right side doesn't close as much as the left, and the stinkin light stays on unless i jam something in there where the light button is when i close it. Not to mention it looks funny...

Thanks!

Yes, the latch attached to the dashboard is adjustable. There is one torx screw that holds the latch plate snug, facing downward, and one torx screw that faces the seat, which moves the latch inward or outward. Loosen the first screw, adjust the latch inward with the second, and resnug the first screw. An inspection mirror will be helpful here. IIRC (and it's been a while), it's a t-25 or a t-20.

FWIW HTH, and good luck.
